    Superchunk has a song called hyper enough and I think the first verse ends with “lofter gusts” but it sounds like he’s saying “laughter guns” to me and many others. So much so the band made an EP with the title. Features a college radio show doing a deep dive on the subject.

    I thought Austin was a song about two lesbians cuz I thought this was the lyrics: “Did your boobs stop working, did your truck break down?”

    I was so disappointed when I learned the actual ones hahaha

    I always heard the lyrics to Cake’s I want a girl as “ I want a girl with the right eye locations”. Seems reasonable enough, nobody wants to date Sloth from the Goonies. And then one day a girl I was talking to told me it was “the right allocations” like measurements, and I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt dumber.

    I heard “carved my name into his legacy” instead of “leather seats” in Before He Cheats.

    Liked the idea that the truck was this bozos legacy. Considering the line prior is “I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four wheel drive” - I thought she keyed her name into the side and that sounded awesome.

      Yeah! That was so metal! It also made me think she keyed her name into the side of the truck, which would be much more visible.

    I miss the rains down in Africa.

    Such a beautiful idea; after a long, parched stretch of time where you aren’t sure if your water supply will last you long enough to survive, the sky opens up and the rains finally fall. Your saved!

    What the heck does blessing the rains do? Extra damage against the undead?

      I used to play an MMO called Shards of Dalaya that was a modified EverQuest. Anyway, Felwithe, the High Elf town, was named Athica in it and there was a server event where there was a raid there. One of the comments in chat was “I bless the raids down in Athica.” Always thought that was clever.

      So that’s the real lyrics. Never looked them up but it definitely sounded like “let’s get fucked” to me too
